This is how the pump and swirl pot will go, hopefully a nice shiny piece of 3mm alloy sheet will arrive tomorrow so that I can fix it all down, still waiting for a few hose fittings and a new pump to arrive.

Holes drilled, rivnuts fitted and everything bolted on, just some fittings and pipe to come next week,and the tank can finally go in and stay in

New center console acquired

**claymore** · Tuesday 23rd June 2015, 18:55

Center dash all taped up, ready to put some fiberglass on in the next couple of days.

I intend to make a switch panel under here for the rear engine start button, rear windows, and hand brake switch.

Think you should have a big Button saying "DO NOT PRESS!!!!!" for the rear engine start up.

He does like the fibreglass

Will the front engine talk to the back engine with any fancy system or will it be two throttles off one pedal?

It's just a simple two throttle cable system, no need for the two to talk to each other.

Some more work on the console,

gauge panel fitted,

Starter switch and radiator fan switches fitted.

**t5 pete** · Saturday 27th June 2015, 17:19

That's looking neat colin

**claymore** · Saturday 27th June 2015, 17:27

Under the bonnet and the back of the car may not be tidy, but I would like the office to be a nice place to play in

**claymore** · Saturday 4th July 2015, 20:20

18 months ago, when I wanted to take the car up to the unit to start work on it, I couldn't get it started because the crank sensor had broken.

So, today i decided to change the starter motor

Mystery solved

Couldn't you bump start the front engine using the rear engine? lol

Yes of course but if I only want to use the front engine, it needs to start independently.

Colin I have found a couple of those black plastic sheets that I made my radiator cover out of if they are any use to you?
